Medical Mission with Singapore Red Cross to Meuloboh/Nias Island - follow up 2

It's a weekend today. For most, it's a day with their family or with friends. For me, it's preparation for the upcoming Medical Mission.

Morning was spent reading and searching the latest news on Nias and today's news. Late morning was spent drawing a list of items to buy. Then I went shopping and buying the required items, including versatile backpacks in the afternoon.

Things didn't go as smoothly as expected. I couldn't find the versatile backpack I had in mind, so I had to mix and match. This is achieved by putting together a collapsable backpack that could fold to become a waistpouch, a multiple pocket pouch as a side pouch and a water-bottle pouch. I fixed the multi-pocket pouch to the left of the backpack/waistpouch and the water-bottle pouch to the right. And presto! I had a versatile gear to equip myself with. However, it cost me quite a bit, but luckily the expenditure's lower than $100.

However, this took up almost the whole day!! I was left with only the night and early wee hours of next morning to pack my clothes & other stuff! Tomorrow evening is the time for the Medical Mission's brief, so I'm left with Tuesday night to patch up whatever items I've left out! Arrghh!!! I better get cracking... and go over the list as I pack. Tick tock, tick tock... time's flying....
